Title: You guys can choose the name the title or let me think of one. As long as it's not inappropriate, anything goes. You can change the title name if you are not happy with it.
Plot: You don't have to make up a plot for your story, but a basic structure would be helpful so that I know what I'm aiming for when I'm writing. Like if you want me to do a certain sequence of events in a certain order. You can also have 'side story lines' if you like, but remember that these are one-shots so try not to go overbroad. Also, if you need help thinking of a plot, don't be afraid to ask me. And please remember that I'm not going to do anything that is over a T rating.
AU: Now just because it says 'AU' doesn't mean you have to be super creative with the alternate universe that your story takes place in. It could be completely like the canon or it could be nothing like the canon. It is up to you guys. If you need help thinking of an AU for your plot/story idea, please don't be afraid to ask me.
Genre: You're not limited to two genres. Some stories have more than two genres and I see no reason why you can't have more than 2 so don't freak out over deciding which genre to pick. But just so you all know, I'm shit at Poetry so if you don't have a poem to go with your story, we won't be getting too far with that one-shot.
Prompt Word / Phrase: Wanna base your story on a certain word or phrase? Tell me and I'll do my best to write it. It's sort of like giving me a challenge. Of course, like the others, you don't have to fill out this section.
Song Name / Author: Sort of similar to Prompt Word / Phrase, if you want to base your story around a certain song you can. I'll try and do my best to incorporate it into the story. The song can either be background music for the story or one of your characters can be singing it. It depends on what you want.
Main Characters: Main Characters are, of course, the main people in the story. The ones that you want to focus the most on. Duel monster can count as a Main Character if you want them to be.
Minor Characters: Like Main Characters, these are a batch of characters that have a speaking role in the story, but are not the main focus.
Main Shipping: Everyone has their favorites but I'm very tolerate towards every shipping out there. I won't judge or bad talk you for liking a certain ship or downgrade your story. Everyone likes what they like and shouldn't have to feel ashamed because of that. The Main Shippings are the couples you want to focus the story on the most.
Minor Shipping: Minor Shippings are the couples or relationships that are mentioned in the story or you don't really dive into it much but they are there.
Main Duels: I would need the name of the character and the name of the deck they are using. Now I will warn you all that sometimes my duel writing can be shit, especially if I don't know the deck too well but that doesn't mean I wouldn't try hard to understand it…..unless of course you want your duel to be one of those 'one turn kill' kind of duels. That being said, yes. You can choose the winner of the duel or you could leave it up to me.
Minor Duels: Basically a side plot duel that doesn't really require attention, but you still want to happen in your story. Same rules as Main Duels, I need the name of the deck and you can choose the outcome of the duel.
Ideas From: Just your username because even though I wrote it, some of the writing and ideas are still your's and I want to give credit.
Now you don't have to fill out every section. You can just fill out one and let me handle the rest if you wish, but remember. I'm not a mind reader. If a one shot doesn't come out the way you want it then please tell me and I'll try to fix it.
Also, a quick word on OC characters. I don't think I'm ready to handle such a task. I've tried it once a few months back and it didn't really work out because I kept on worrying about if I was portraying the characters right and I really don't need that type of stress when I'm writing. So please, no OC characters unless it's like...for a minor appearance or something.
And another thing on crossovers. Only characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh spin offs, but don't go crazy. I know that's weird but I've hardly watched GX, barely remember much of Zexal or 5D. Vrians I'm still trying to get a feel for the characters and I only remember more of Duel Monsters because of LittleKuriboh's abridged series on it.
Any other questions, please ask!
